I'm actually a huge fan of the Costco chicken bakes. More so than their pizza at least. You can find good pizza anywhere but the chicken bake is a terrific value at 2.99 and I still think it's delicious. It's not as good of a deal as the doggo but man does not live on doggos alone

6-8 sticks almost every night. I have a small chest freezer that was purchased purely to hold mozzarella sticks, these days it’s more like 1/3 mozzarella sticks and 2/3 Normandy blend

I've literally just gone for the dog a few times.

Good dog and you can't beat that price.

Speaking of, I tried Ikea's hot dogs the other day. The huge banners advertising them all over the store made them look like Costco's awesome foot long sausages. What I got were something I could have microwaved at home if I was feeling unbelievably lazy. A lovely, shriveled wiener on a stale, crusty bun. And they only had ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. And their sodas were exclusively sugar-free.

Ugh.

If I lived closer I'd def go for just the dog. Actually, I took my roommate there once so he could get a laptop and a tv wall mount and all I bought was 2 dogs!

Honestly a few years ago the Costco pizza was great but they hosed with the crust and the sauce and now its really kinda poo poo.

I'm really not a fan of the thicker crust they use and I swear the sauce tastes like poo poo now too.

I've been led astray by this thread often, first with the pub mix then with the normandy blend, that it's a wonder the Sherpa Throw defied all odds and turned out to be heaven.

A 2002 reg thinks that this thread is the peak of hedonism.

I'm not saying this thread doesn't get excessive, but if you think a dude having a chest freezer for fish sticks even registers on the greater scale of internet hedonism, you have an angelic naivete of the internet.

They should have some carts at the back of the store so when you go in for 3 things but then your arms are full halfway through you can abort your cartless run.

Also, paint a line down the middle of every aisle, and maybe people will subconsciously treat it like a 2 lane road instead of going 3 wide in the same loving direction and then stopping to chat creating a road block.

The instant pot is made for that freezer section full of fish/chicken/whatever. It should be issued with the membership.

Costco is two miles from my house, but my wife will pay more to order stuff from the web site just so she doesn't have to deal with all the morons blocking everything with their carts.

Also, the Kirkland organic Greek yogurt is amazing. I bought it one time when they didn't have the 0% Fage and I prefer it.

Every time I’ve used Costco.com the price was the same as it was in store. Is this not true for everything?

Yeah I typically see :airquote: free shipping :airquote: but a bit more expensive online than in store. They really could use a better web site that doesn’t sign me out all the time or put me back to the front page when I’ve signed in to see the price.

Hmm maybe I never really noticed it but when I saw some clothes in store they didn't have my size in they would typically be the same price. Probably haven't paid enough attention to it though honestly.

Yeah, the online prices either are more expensive because they include shipping or you're paying $3 per item for two day shipping unless you spend $75. One time she bought Kleenex and those Nature Valley almond butter biscuits. Cost $6 to get something I could have picked up on my almost weekly trips. To top it all off, the shipping box and items were all smashed up.

I wish everyone treated the lanes as if they were driving. Would be so much smoother.

I'm curious what others do in this situation. My rule is if you aren't touching your cart I will move it out of the way (unless I see a purse/Rx/personal item, then I treat it as them touching it). If you are touching your cart and you are blocking me, a loud "excuse me/con permiso" will be delivered.

You can even order online without a membership but there’s a 5% surcharge.

Went to costco yesterday The main entrance to the parking lot is closed off because they're constructing a brand new :siren: GAS STATION :siren: It also makes getting in and out of the parking lot completely hellish.

Got some perogies, spinach ravioli, shrimp scampi, lots of milk, and some vegetables that I have no intention of eating. Ever have one of those weeks where Sunday hits and you just know there's no chance your going to cook? Costco saves me from ordering out too much.

Free samples were out in full force yesterday too. So many free samples that it was a lunch in itself. There were enough that there was no lines for any because everyone was full. It almost tricked us into buying a giant family sized bag of bugles because that's the junkfood of our childhood and we both wanted it. But that's way too much junk food for two people so we got a box of individually packaged popcorners instead.

The dumbest sample of the day was for some starbucks coffee though. They were smart enough to hide that in the corner corner of the store because of all the idiots who need their coffee JUST RIGHT and stood there adding tiny amounts of milk/cream/sugar until they got their thimble of coffee just the way they want it.

Drinking black coffee isn't a tough-guy thing, it's because sugar is bad for you.

Also if you buy good coffee in the first place, you don't have to cover up it's flavor with additives.

Oh yeah they had a whole team of people selling pot stickers and offering samples.

I was totally going to buy one and treat myself, but after trying all the samples I decided to not buy it. They were all so disappointingly bland.
